Oh, I'm not whale hunting. I prefer the role of a mercenary to pirate--it's a lot less time intensive. smile

I understand the role of the people backing this game and the feature creep that allows. Frankly, I'd be happy just to get Squadron 42. It's perplexing the degree of faith people have put into the vision of one man. Really, when was the last time that Chris Roberts put out a space sim? 12 years ago, right?

I loved almost every one of the games he put out for Origin. But that was the last century. That's why I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude with the funding. If it works out, I reap the benefits that the original backers funding the game. If it doesn't...I don't lose too much.

On the other hand, I'm willing to spend much more after the game is released than the starter ship package I bought. And I hope there are a lot of people with a similar mindset so the game can expand after release.

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
